3 | Polycoythmia rubra vera | Itching,fatigue, night sweats,contipation and sometime diarrhea... | 67 | 30 days 500mg | 10/7/2018 | 4 | PV | Fatigue, joint pain. | F | 68 | 5 months 50 MG | 7/6/2018 | 4 | High platelets | None I don’t think maybe with working it’s been ok just scared | It’s been 4 years on dryers I’m scared | F | 71 | 0 days 1000one da | 5/5/2018 | 4 | Essential Thrombocythemia 10 years. | Fatigue, extreme at times. Hard for husband to understand why I feel so tired all the time. I do exercise and try to keep up daily routines and family commitments. The tiredness is not so much a sleepy tired but a bone-weary feeling of exhaustion. Doing the smallest tasks make me feel so tired. | Hydea ia the best choice I guess for my treatment. I tolerate it well except for the extreme fatigue. Not sure how much the disease itself plays into this as well as the Hydrea. | F | 73 | 9.5 years 1000mg 1X day | 8/21/2017 | 4 | Essential thrombocytosis | Extreme fatigue, bone and joint pain, foggy brain, lightheadedness. | None. | M | 39 | 20 years 3 x 500 mg 1X day | 5/11/2017 | 4 | ET | Fatigue, excessive sweating, joint pain, ..all manageable though considering alternative ie stroke, weight gain out on 10kgs though eating much less etc..very annoying | Diagnosed after routine blood test at 45 with 3000 count/Jak2 gene...initial dose of 3 a day and no impact so put on daily interferon as well. Interferon much worse (think like hangover each morning) but got platelets down to 450-500 and weaned off and remained the same since..now 2 pills a day. Still active,rock climb 3 days a week, footy once day ..though do notice I tire quicker, wake up stiff though that could just be normal aging ? Used to take daily Panadol Osteo but only take now when really need it. All in all rather not take it but no choice really and could be much worse, as i say to my teenage daughter when she comes at me with 1st world problems..”suck it up princess” and really is my philosophy with having to take Hydrea. To be totally honest its the excessive sweating that annoys me the most especially now summer is coming on grrr | M | 47 | 1.5 years 500mg 2X day | 11/27/2016 | 4 | ET w/JAK 2 Mutation | Hair thinning, fatigue, headaches, and increased nerve and muscle pain. | I take 500mg every other day and 1000 every other day. It's working for my platelets and white cell count (which was double the normal) but I am concerned that my RBC count is too low now, down to 1.6. But overall it's beats having a stroke. Will likely be on it permanently. | F | 55 | 5 months 500 & 1000 | 10/22/2016 | 5 | PV and Undiagnosed MPD | Fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, chills. Gets worse when dose is changed/increased. | I tolerate Hydrea great compared to other oral chemo that I was first put on. Hair loss slowed down after body adjusted to being on it. I also use Nioxin to help. | F | 42 | 5 years 1000mg | 10/19/2016 | 4 | VP | Just a little tired at times. | The first week I took it my platelets dropped from 657 to 485 and then the next week down to 365 but my hemo dropped a little too low they said. I am now taking it every other day now which I am happy about and will see if my numbers stay down. I take 500 mg. I too am worried about long term usage. i cant believe they cant find a cure for this awful disease. | F | 67 | 2 weeks 500mg 1X day | 9/24/2016 | 5 | Essential thrombocytosis | Nausea tired breathless at times fatique but all in all tolerable has gotten better only been on 2 and half months but has definitely saved my life. | Its better than some of the alternatives I have to take it the rest of my life. | F | 51 | 1 days 1000 daily | 7/13/2016 | 3 | Blood platelets high | Leg nerve pains side pain | One years use | F | 80 | 1 years 500 | 6/24/2016 | 2 | Recently diagnosed w/ ET | M | 57 | 500 1X day | 6/10/2016 Patient History | 5 | PV | hair thinning and extreme pain on bone joints | M | 44 | 1 years 500 2X day | 5/2/2016 | 4 | ET | Diagnosed in 2006 ,ended in hospital with acute spleen pain.
